I've just seen on Lancs OPC that one of the witnesses at Robert's wedding was a Richard Kenyon, and I haven't got a Richard in my tree! But there are some quite big gaps betwen Richard's siblings so I need to check again...

Okay, there is a Robert baptised 21 Jun 1767, parents James and Jane, and he does have a brother Richard, baptised 15 Dec 1765. Again, FamilySearch says St James Altham but I think they may be Accrington. The year of birth fits better with Robert's age at death - if I have the right Robert's burial, of course! Baxenden is the right place at least.
